I don't think this is a copyright issue. You can't copyright facts. It's also news, you can't copyright news. Like I pointed out earlier, I think its a right of publicity issue. The value of the stats in fantasy baseball is not the stats themselves, its that you are playing as a baseball player. Like how in the old Nintendo baseball games, none of the players had names only numbers and stats, that would be fine, but once you are using names, then you are crossing the line. I don't agree with it. But that would be my guess.
It has more to do with the fact that each player has a right to exploit their work and image. The analogy is if I followed you to work and decided to take stats of you surfing slashdot and decided to make a game out of it. And then on the box I say something like, play Fantasy Slashdot with all your favorite Slashdotters. Because I am selling a game with omega_cubed's identity, then I am exploiting your work image without compensating for you. I know its a really stupid example but its late.
It's not really that absurd. Company A write regulations and sells it to local ordinances. Local ordinances usually do not have all the expertise to do it on their own. So they adopt fire codes, building regulations and what not from these third party companies. What then happens is, it becomes published and then other local ordinances without paying Company A adopt the same regulations. Company A wants to get paid so they can research and adjust their regulations.
Phoenix did get released in the US. But Capcom for some reason pulled it from their online store and copies are hard come by and used titles are going for upwards of 50 dollars on ebay.
PW actually was a game in Japan for the GBA ported to the DS. With one case that makes use of DS's many different input schemes. It's quite ingenious. There are games like that in Japan, where game play is totally different than FPS, RTS. Rythm games, dance games, Nintendogs, things like that. I was looking forward to the PW sequel and other crazy games from Japan, but not quite certain if that's going to happen.
What about Phoenix Wright and DS Trauma center. Both are radically different than anything else seen in games in the US. I am saddened that Capcom decided to pull Phoenix from the US market.
Those cars are very nice, but none of them are really practical for everyday use. It's pretty hard to put in a child seat inside a Lamborghini.
Car and Driver for 15 years has put the 3 series on their top ten list as the best luxury sports sedan. That's why you see so many BMWs at the grocery store and at preschool, people who use their cars for every day and still want to have a nice driving experience. The BMWs may not be the best handling cars, best ride, the best acceleration, the most luxurious the best at any one thing, kind of like Apple they are quite good as a package and that is why they out sell every other luxury car maker.
When I say driving enthusiant, I don't necessarily mean someone who goes and tracks their car on the race track.
Look inside the McLaren F1 and tell me which engine it uses. BMWs are not reknowned because of the luxuriousness, they are more reknowned for their on road performance. They may not be the fastest cars ever made, except they do power the fastest cars ever made, but they give people a driving experience that other car makers cannot match. BMWs attract driving enthusiasts, like Apple attracts certain computer enthusiasts. That's why the distinction is made.
Color film lasts decades. The life of a burned CD or DVD is supposedly 100 years, but since they haven't been around a hundred years, we don't know for certain. Maintaining a digital picture archive is a more user involved process, burning CDs, DVDs and what not and making sure your hard drive doesn't fail. To archive a negative, you put them in a box in low humidity and light.
The point is, to buy a camera to equal the quality of film you need to spend money on a sensor. A 10 dollar disposable digital is not going to have the same sensor tech comparable to film, at least not in the near term. Yes you can argue that the disposable Kodak has a crappy lens, but I'm not arguing the merits of the optics, but how film is superior digital in certain occaisons, right now. And for those people who forget their camera on their ski trip. A 5 dollar film camera, being more robust and less likely to break than their digital counterparts may be a better option.
With film you have a built in ability to archive. Also film cameras are almost disposible, you can buy one for 5 bucks with film in it. There are some "disposible" digital cameras, but the costs of those are much more than a disposible film camera. To approach the quality of said disposible film camera, you are going to have to spend 400-500 right now. I can't see a time when these disposible film cameras are going away anytime soon.
If you were stuck in Europe, on vacation and then someone stole everything you had except your Leica. You can sell that camera and buy 4 plane tickets for you and your friends to go home.
I believe the FM10 was the result of camera owners wanting an all manual camera from Nikon, for a while in the 1990s, Nikon didn't have an all manual Nikon, which resulted in many of photography students buying the Pentax K1000 instead. Even today, the Pentax sells at about the cost it sold for new. So I can see why Nikon is keeping the FM10.
Film won't die, like how color didn't kill black and white, photography killed painting, or painting replaced drawing, or drawing killed writing, or writing killed oral story telling, or oral story killed grunts and miming.
The parent was talking about a truly manual camera, which the FM10 is, with no flash, and a manual advance. The only battery that he might need is a button battery for the light meter. But Nikon isn't getting rid of that one so not sure why the poster brought it up.
That's different than counterfeiting. It is perfectly legal to state that your battery is compatible with a Motorola. It is another thing to state that the battery is made by Motorola and will be supported by Motorola if it goes bad. In the US, people are allowed to state things are compatible, I can make HP compatible inks, I can also make perfume that smells exactly the same as the a name brand perfume as long as I make it clear that it is not the name brand perfume. Calling your perfume Opium is probably not okay, calling it Poppy Seed, with a tagline, smells like Opium is perfectly fine.
Counterfeits are not made to the same standard as originals, if they were made to the same standards then the counterfeiters wouldn't be trying to pass off their goods as fakes, they would be making claims that their products were better.
When you buy a product from a manufacturer, you as a buyer are protected by warranty laws, a counterfeiter can get away with selling stuff even if the quality is the same as the original for a lower price because they don't have to support you.
Counterfeiters do take away profits from the rightful owners of the product. Companies spend millions of dollars to develop a product and to appeal to a certain market. If counterfeiters were allowed to counterfeit, then companies would not develop products.
Also, how would like to buy an Intel computer but only to find that the insides are actually made by a Chinese knockoff company.
The apes were not entirely evil. In the original series of sequels, you see that man kind has enslaved apes and that with a help of a black man, apes were freed from their oppressors. That's why in the remake of Planet of the Apes, at the end of the movie, you see in the place of Abe Lincoln, you see the equivalent of the Ape Abe Lincoln.

You can trademark letters. I can imagine new procs from intel, Intel GTO type R.

In the US, privelages and rights are treated the same under the due process clause of the consitution.

Even if game servers let you play Madden 200x - 1. People like to play current players in a sports game.

You lose your trademarks if you don't use it in commerce.

Film has more noise. Film can have more resolution and still look crappier than digital.

Apple might sue the modder's supplier like they did when that one guy tried to sell a headless Mac couple of years ago.
To be fair, the first two topics you have listed on your lists are dupes. Xbox Nissan was on a month ago.
All law degrees are law doctorates. JD is short for Juris Doctor. You might be thinking of LLM. Masters in laws.

Also that would enable them to add more ram to the system to enable the DS to run more complex websites.
